Shawn,
Looking forward to seeing Thunder Road around the BB this year and boy she sure is a nice looking boat. I wish you nothing but the best and I just know there will be many fish caught on her. Also it was good talking to you the other night and thanks for the Intel and I’ll let you know when that spot starts to heat up.

Great info on Robert Mitchum.

Ron — I am not a guide, although I hope to be someday.

Scott — Yes, I sometimes jig on opening day. Almost everyone trolls. I may fish the Boatyard Bar & Grill tournament again this year. I’d like to put some more light tackle fish on the leader board.

Ron/Shawn,
I believe Robert Mitchum had a farm in Trappe. Mitchum’s steakhouse in Trappe was named after him and they have a handout about the history of Trappe and Mitchum.

Shawn,
Nice boat! I am so looking forward to the fishing season.

great report and good to see that you survived the epic snows! Nice looking boat from Judge Yachts. I gotta figure that with that power on a narrow beam she will go when you need to?
Question Shawn, will you be jigging on or around opening day when the hoards are out there manning the broomsticks? I had so much fun last fall attending LTJ University (as a freshman) I really want to get back to it! Would have splashed my boat this afternoon but the city of Annapolis left a snow pile at the Truxton Ramp: now that’s insult to injury!

good jigging,
Scott

Shawn – did you know that Robert Mitchum once owned a nice farm either in Q.A. or Caroline county where he came down to hunt? I am new to your site etc. would I be correct to assume you and guide fishing charters? I would love to go out with you a day or two.

Maybe you should call “Der Thunder Road.”

Shawn;
Congratulations. That boat fits the definition of a “Fishing Machine.”
And you couldn’t pick a better name.
Although I may be a little terrified to drive with you behind the wheel of that hot rod in the middle of night;

“And there was thunder, thunder over Thunder Road
Thunder was his engine, and white lightning was his load
There was moonshine, moonshine to quench the Devil’s thirst
The law they swore they’d get him, but the Devil got him first.”

Mark
Oh yea, and those are some really nice fish too.

Saw Judge Yatchs listed as a sponser when I checked out the last report. Wondered what that was about so I checked the link. Looks like a fine boat from a reputable company. Best of luck with your “new ride”!
